I have tables which can be sorted and filtered on the browser side, via jquery plugins. There is also a download button which copies the modified content of the table to a hidden input and submits it to oracle which then prints the value of the input using htp.p with a excel header. This works fine for tables of a certain size, I am prompted to open the file in excel.

On larger tables though I get this.
mod_plsql: /pls/braganza/play.download_filtered HTTP-400 Value param too long. Length is 53169. Upper limit is 32512

Any ways of circumventing this limitation?

    Basically buffer your input field across multiple fields. Pseudo code:

    • Assign Table to Hidden Input
    • IF
      • [Hidden Input].length < 32k
      • Submit
    • ELSE
      • Hidden Input #1 = [Hidden Input].Substring(1, 32k)
      • Hidden Input #2 = [Hidden Input].Substring(32k+1, 64k)
      • Hidden Input #3 = [Hidden Input].Substring(64k+1, 96k)
      • Submit

    This is the same/similar method used for large (32k+) clob fields in APEX.

    I would also switch to the flexible parameter passing nature of mod_plsql access. It will save you tons of time/hassle for this particular problem if you are not already using it on this.
